This TV commercial was directed by myself and Catherine Losing for Lacoste Fragrances, and commissioned by the agency, Grey London. We shot the animation using stop motionto bring the embroidered Lacoste crocodiles to life, and film them magically racing down a snowy mountain range!

I made two identical the mountain slopes – one with ski trails and one without. We then animated the crocs skiing down both versions, and so we could composite them together in post, and made it look like they were leaving tracks in the snow.
